What students achieved

A few of the milestones students have shared with us.

Present → subjunctive

“I’ve gone from using basic present tense to using all tenses along with subjunctive and conditional moods.”

Steve

12 weeks vs. 3 years

“I’ve learned more in 12 weeks than I did in 3 years with Duolingo.”

Katrina

Words → full sentences

“The program has taken me from isolated words to actually speaking in full sentences.”

Brad

Thinking in Spanish

Walked the Camino frustrated that she stalled when speaking. Now she thinks in Spanish instead of translating first, and has booked another Camino.

Christina

No more Google Translate

“I read things and don’t need to go quickly to Google Translate to understand what they mean. I am able to read full paragraphs.”

Linda

First real conversation

“It was the first time I actually had a real conversation in Spanish despite several previous months of instruction.”

Bruce

Writing without translating

“I’m able to think my writing straight onto the page instead of translating.”

John

Past the plateau

Hit a speaking plateau after years of classes. After 12 weeks of coaching and weekly essay corrections, he felt he was moving forward again.

Keith

Back in love with Spanish

“I can think more easily in Spanish. The words are coming to me more easily. … I am falling in love with Spanish all over again.”

Andrea

Where they started, where they got to

Four students, four different goals

A second Camino

Christina wanted to stop stalling mid-conversation.

She had walked a Camino in Spain and found speaking the hardest part, even though reading and listening were easier. With the Accelerator, her writing and speaking improved, and she started thinking in Spanish. She has booked another Camino and feels more confident speaking with locals.

Christina

A honeymoon in Chile

Steve wanted more than “quiero dos huevos.”

He and his fiancée were planning their honeymoon in Santiago, and he wanted real conversations with Chileans. Two-thirds of the way through the program, he had moved from the basic present tense to using the subjunctive and conditional.

Steve

Moving past a plateau

Keith knew the tenses but heard himself using the wrong verb forms.

After retiring, he was determined to become bilingual, but hit a plateau after three or four years. Weekly essays with corrections showed him what to work on, and his coach adapted each session to what he was struggling with.

Keith

Family in two languages

Timothy wanted to talk with his bilingual grandchildren.

He grew up surrounded by Spanish but never became fluent. After his first 90 days, with a personalised study plan and a shared journal with his coach, he noticed the biggest improvement in his pronunciation, and he signed up for another 90 days.

The Spanish Language Accelerator program has been valuable in helping me continue developing my Spanish. Even as a Spanish teacher, I still have more to learn, and this program has helped me strengthen and expand my language skills. … The weekly essays have pushed me to use higher-level Spanish, and the detailed feedback has contributed to my progress. … Overall, the experience has been worthwhile and much more effective than trying to improve on my own.

The MyDailySpanish team has done a great job of checking in to both get and give feedback throughout my Spanish learning journey. … They’ve navigated that important line of making sure we are engaging with Spanish content in a way that is interesting and meaningful to me, but at the same time covering the must knows based on my current skill level.

Efficient, comprehensive, and friendly. Adjusts the learning plan as you go to meet your needs. Friendly, personal, and based on a deep understanding of language learning theory and practice.

Personal, compassionate, flexible support for my particular challenges in learning Spanish. Thank you!

The programme focuses on speaking Spanish, which is what I wanted, and I have a lesson with my coach every week where we discuss and review an assignment verbally and correct any errors. … I have to write an essay every week, which is meticulously reviewed and corrected … and this has really improved the grammatical accuracy of my spoken and written Spanish.

I recently completed a 12-week Spanish course with SLA, and it was one of the most effective language-learning experiences I’ve had. … The team at SLA quickly identified those gaps and designed a personalized program that addressed my specific needs. … Over the 12 weeks, I noticed a significant improvement in my spoken Spanish, particularly in my fluency and confidence during conversations.

After 3 years learning with Duolingo and one term of face to face evening classes, I felt that I needed some more focussed learning to get me actually speaking Spanish. … My coach, Evelyn is brilliant. … I’ve learned more in 12 weeks than I did in 3 years with Duolingo. … Now, I love it so much, I’ve signed up for another 12 weeks!

I love this program! From the very first moment I began speaking with my instructor, I was learning. It was like a switch in my mind that had to be turned on and it was unlike any schooling I had ever had.

NJ
Trustpilot · May 2026

Before joining the Spanish Language Accelerator Program, I knew some grammar and a lot of vocabulary, but I couldn’t put it together in conversation. In a short period of time, the program has taken me from isolated words to actually speaking in full sentences. … If you’ve been stuck at the “I know words but can’t speak” stage, this program is exactly what gets you past it.

Brad
Trustpilot · May 2026

Live interaction with an instructor weekly, online textbooks, references to specific areas of grammar and vocabulary, community discussions and question/answer sessions, personal communications for specific questions. … The cost is acceptable for this level of learning.

They paired me with a coach from my target country, which is an absolute game-changer. Instead of getting a confusing mix of regional dialects, I was able to focus entirely on the exact accent and local expressions of the region I care about most. It built my listening confidence so much faster.

I still have weaknesses as an advanced learner after many years of study up to and beyond university level and in the Language Accelerator Program, I found an incredible platform to address these gaps in my abilities (in particular spontaneous speech generation).

I have been using it for over a year (with the same coach). I love the one on one coaching and conversation practice every week. … My confidence has grown tremendously. … Yes, you need to put in the work, but it is worth it when you see your progress.

Erin
Trustpilot · April 2026

In the past I have tried many different on-line Spanish teaching tools and SLA stands above them all. The secret is in the personalized coaching. … I have three favorite parts of the program. The first is the writing assignments and the feedback and editing that I get. … The second favorite is the practice I get in speaking and listening to my coach. The third is getting to know a person from another country.

Having the regularity of a weekly one on one lesson to work towards has improved my study focus. I have found the text reviews especially helpful. It’s a great program.
